Excerpt

Adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater, or ampullary carcinoma (AC), is a relatively rare cancer, comprising < 0.5% of all gastrointestinal cancers and approximately 7% of all periampullary cancers.1,2 Similar to other periampullary malignancies, the surgical management of AC involves resection of the primary tumor and regional lymph nodes via pancreatoduodenectomy. In general, AC is associated with an improved long-term prognosis (median 41 months overall survival [OS]) following surgical resection compared with other periampullary cancers.3
